Random Card of the Day



Sunday, December 6, 2020

Year: 2002

Set: Press Pass Trackside (Rate)

Card: #28 John Andretti


“ A first name might be good for a common last name. Nice card though. ” -switzr1

“ Nice card of legendary Indy car driver Mario Andretti's kid. Not sure why General Mills / Cheerios is prominently sponsoring NASCAR. ” -abide

“ I think for a racing card, it looks cool. ” -muskie027

“ Auto racing needs more Andrettis, period. Indianapolis was awesome in the early 90s (and late 80s?) with John, Michael and Mario all on the track. And if I remember correctly, John was the first to run the Indy 500 in the morning and then head to Carolina or somewhere to run the Coca-Cola 600 that evening. (Is it 600? 500? Carolina? Honestly I'm not sure. I don't follow NASCAR so much, as you can tell. Sorry!) ” -kents_stuff

“ I've never been a fan of auto racing, but I guess this is a pretty decent looking card. ” -Phil

“ Everybody liked John Andretti. Sadly he passed away from colon cancer earlier this year. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Nice card, though there is enough room to put his first name on the front. You would think an Andretti driving a Petty owned car would have a much better career than he did. ” -jupiterhill

“ This card reminds me of how much I want to see Dodge back in NASCAR ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ Nice racing card. ” -captkirk42

“ I have some racing cards, although I do not collect them. But this is a pretty nice looking card. I like when they include an image of the car the driver races with. ” -Derek McDonough

R.I.P. John. I got a picture in front of his Cheerios car when I was 3.

How were you guys able to get Continue the Conversation to work? I had to start a new thread.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Tips on how to make your scans look like the card does in hand (No more washed out, fuzzy scans!):

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff.  Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Not sure if I like the border but then I don't like the sport so it's ticky to say.
